Commissioning
Fillcontrol Auto Compact — 20.10.2020 - Rev. D
English — 9
7.1
Requirements for initial commissioning
The device will be ready for initial commissioning when the tasks described in
the "Installation" chapter have been completed. Note the following information
on initial commissioning:
•
The device is installed.
•
The water connections to the system circuit are established.
•
The device shut-off valves are closed.
–
Shut-off valve from the "DC" make-up line to the system circuit.
–
Shut-off valve of the "WC" make-up line to the fresh water main.
•
"PIS" pressure monitoring is ready.
•
The electrical connection has been created according to applicable
national and local regulations.
Establish a 230 V power supply by plugging the power plug into a corresponding
outlet. The controller is in Stop mode.
7.2
Determining the P
0
minimum operating pressure for the
controller
The "P
0
" minimum working pressure for the device is used in system circuits with
a diaphragm expansion vessel.
Calculate the "P
0
" minimum working pressure for the device:
•
The device is installed at the same level as the diaphragm expansion
vessel:
–
hst = 0, P0 = p0*
•
The device is installed at a lower level than the diaphragm expansion
vessel:
–
P
0
= p0 + h
st
/10*
•
The device is installed at a higher level than the diaphragm expansion
vessel:
–
P
0
= p0 - h
st
/10*
*p0 in bar, h
st
in metres
Note!
Calculate the filling pressure for system circuit make-up using fresh
water as follows:
Filling pressure ≥ P
0
+ 0.3 bar
Note!
When planning, note that the working range of the device must come
within the pressurisation working range, which extends from the initial
pressure "PA" to the final pressure "PE".
7.3
Filling the device with water
CAUTION
Risk of injury due to pump start-up
Hand injuries may occur when the pump starts up if you turn the pump
motor at the impeller using a screwdriver.
•
Switch the pump to a zero-volts state before turning the pump at the
fan wheel with a screwdriver.
ATTENTION
Device damage due to pump start-up
Pump damage may occur when the pump starts up if you turn the pump
motor at the impeller using a screwdriver.
•
Switch the pump to a zero-volts state before turning the pump at the
fan wheel with a screwdriver.
Fill water into the device:
1.
Slowly open the shut-off valve in the "WC" make-up line from the mains
separator tank.
–
The mains separator tank is filled with water from the fresh water
main.
2.
Check the proper closing of the float valve in the mains separator tank.
–
Water must not flow from the device overflow.
3.
Slowly open the shut-off valve in the "DC" make-up line to the system.
–
The pressure line from the mains separator tank to the pump is filled
with water from the mains separator tank.
Vent the pump (1):
4.
Remove the vent screw from the pump and vent the pump until bubble-
free water escapes.
–
If necessary, manually turn the pump using a screwdriver at the fan
wheel until bubble-free water escapes.
5.
Tighten the vent screw and ensure that is does not leak.
The device is filled with water.
7.4
Parametrising the controller in the Customer menu
Use the Customer menu to display or correct system-specific values. In the
course of commissioning, the factory settings must be adjusted for the system-
specific conditions.
–
For adjusting the default settings, see chapter 9.2 "Configuring settings in
the controller" on page 11 .
–
For information about controller operation, see chapter 9.1 "Operator
panel" on page 11 .
7.5
Function test
Perform a device function test. Check the following functions:
•
Make-up with fresh water.
•
Tightness of the float valve in the mains separator tank.
Prior to the function test, provide the following prerequisites:
•
Set the device controller to manual mode, see chapter 8.1.2 "Manual
mode" on page 10 .
•
Clean the dirt trap, see chapter 10.3 "Cleaning the dirt trap" on page 14 .
